Our previous president had bullets, ammo, primers and powder dry up from the store shelves. The adapters IMO would be a great back up plan if you already reload for pistol or rifle. I know at one point I was paying $10 for a tin of percussion caps.

At a hair over 1 cent each there is no reason not to stock up.Just my not very humble opinion.Perhaps why I have thousands of caps,several pounds of pure lead, molds, 15 thousand rounds of .22 rim fire...........................Just ammo I've bought over the years and put away as Icould afford it.

We had protesters during the Florida bear hunt. (We don't have one this year)

I knew some folks who were going to protest. They were passing out fliers for people to wear black tee-shirts to show their support for the bears. Then they were gonna gather and go to the parks where they thought hunters might be to make themselves heard the day of the hunt.

I told this person that purposely putting on a black shirt to look more like a bear and then to stumble around in the woods was a good way to get shot by mistake. Hunters wear orange. Bears wear black. That was also not where the cameras were likely going to be if they were trying to get a message out. I politely asked them to protest all they wanted, but please, for their own safety- stay away from the woods.

The startled look on their face was genuine. They had never considered the stupidity of this particular action, the potential ramifications, or the possibility of a polite and concerned hunter.

I was promised that they would stay away from active hunting areas and that I should not worry for them. I heaved a sigh of relief because I eat everything I shoot.

I stopped a hiker who was hiking legally in a WMA during an organized hunt. He was wearing a tan chamois shirt. I told him there was a hunt going on and he would be safer and it would be wise to change his tan shirt for an orange one. He naively replied, "I'm not hunting, I'm just hiking. I'm not required to wear orange."DUH!
